DAMPER AND OUTSIDE AIR CONTROLS
This appliance is fitted with a manually con-
trolled vent damper. The vent damper should
be closed when the appliance is not in use to
prevent cold air from entering the home through
the venting system. The damper is controlled
through the use of a control lever located
within the appliance opening at the top center
in front of the firebox lintel ( Figure 5 ). The
control lever snaps into place at either extreme
of its range of motion. When locked in position
all the way to the right, the damper is open.
When locked in position all the way to the left,
the damper is closed.
The damper lever actuates a switch, (see wir-
ing diagram) which will prevent the appliance
main burner from lighting unless the damper
is locked open. The appliance flue damper
must always remain open when operating.
WARNING: DAMPER MUST BE IN OPEN
POSITION WHEN APPLIANCE MAIN
BURNER IS OPERATING.
AVERTISSEMENT: LE REGISTRE DOIT

Figure 5
Many appliances are equipped when installed
with an outside (make-up) air vent system that
is designed to provide the appliance with out-
side make-up air for combustion when in op-
eration. The actuator for the outside air sys-
tem is standard on all appliances but must not
be operated if the complete system is not
installed. Refer to Figure 6 . When the com-
plete outside air vent system is installed, the
installer will remove the actuator locking screw.
If your screw is not removed and you have
reason to believe that you have a complete
outside air system, contact your distributor to
have your appliance inspected for the pres-
ence of the complete system. DO NOT assume
that you have this system in place because you
have an actuating lever present on your appli-
ance front face.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE OUT-
SIDE AIR ACTUATOR UNLESS A COM-
PLETE OUTSIDE AIR VENT SYSTEM HAS
BEEN INSTALLED WITH YOUR APPLI-
ANCE.

Figure 6
To provide outside air to your appliance while
it is in operation, locate the outside air actuator
along the right side of the appliance opening
( Figure 5 ).
To operate, push the end of the actuator to the
left as shown in Figure 6 , until it "pops" free of
its "locked" position. Pull the actuator forward
to open the combustion air door, and push it
back to close. To "lock" the outside air door
closed, ensure the actuator is pushed all the
way back, then push the end of the actuators
to the right until the step in the actuator moves
behind the appliance front face within the
slotted opening.
